We stayed 9/29 to 10/6 and wanted to love this place. Several things were good, but how management…read morehandled a theft complaint is the main reason for my rating. What went well: Check-in was easy and the receptionist was pleasant. Josh at the front desk was awesome, with great knowledge of the island and plenty of helpful tips. We arrived late after travel delays and the restaurant was closing, so they let us take our food to go without the usual fee. Tina at the bar was wonderful. They lent us snorkel gear for free, and the water was a highlight. When our TV stopped working, management and the owners came to fix it. The bioluminescent tour we booked was the best part of the trip. The problem: On Thursday we had our room cleaned while we were at the beach. Our wallets were in a dresser drawer, and I'll own that we didn't use the in-room safe. On Saturday we discovered $600 in cash was missing from one of them. We are certain it was there before the room was cleaned. We told reception right away and management came to the room. We were told this has never happened before. Management did not review the footage until we followed up, and we heard back Sunday afternoon. They told us it showed only us and housekeeping entering the room, and that they had no further steps planned. We weren't offered a goodwill gesture or any follow-up. Whatever the cause, I expected a more engaged response. The beach: The hotel sells day passes to its beach, and even with very few guests in house, the beach was busy every day with pass holders. Posted signs show the pass costs $15, rising to $40 when a cruise ship is docked. Don't count on a quiet beach, even at an adult hotel. Other notes: The "free continental breakfast" was kept behind the counter, with only self-serve coffee out, so we didn't realize we could ask for food. Sunday brunch service was poor, with no drink refills and a long wait to settle up. Takeout from the hotel restaurant carries a 10% upcharge, even for guests. The beds were very firm, and the road in front gets loud with music and tire squealing most evenings around 7. Off-season, most shops in Frederiksted are closed, so plan around bars and restaurants. Bottom line: Lovely water and some genuinely kind staff, but expect crowds at the beach, don't leave cash in the room, and I'd want to see a better process for guest complaints before returning.

Restaurant next door is good for a morning coffee or in a pinch but it's just alright. Pretty expensive. This is in a good location. Rent a car for sure. Two trips in a taxi is more than a day rental car at centerline rentals. Check out my other reviews for st Croix restaurants we visited. This was our second trip. First time was Hotel on the Cay. Probably about the same, better beach here, different snorkeling there. Colder and deeper so we saw eagle rays (10 years ago). Lots is turtles our back here... There too, sting rays, barracuda, and lots of pretty reef fish here. You can snorkel the rocks up close to the beach on the left or right, or the rocks a bit further out to the left are good too. Snorkeling the pier was very cool

I was able to see the ocean while laying on my bed. One morning I saw a cruise ship approaching the island! I didn't get a chance to try the breakfast because I left too early each morning. Parking was easy to find on the street in front of the hotel especially since my rental car was compact. This place was the most reasonable place I could find and I'm glad I stayed here and saved my job a little travel money.

There was also a music festival going on most of the time we were there, often playing until 5 am. I understand that the hotel has no control over the festival (and they did offer us earplugs), but it would have been great if they could have tried to minimize other noise during the day, for example, pause amplified music from the Ruff Night bar and try to do something about the roosters living directly above the room.

Our family chose to spend Christmas 2025 in the Caribbean, and Carambola Resort provided a truly…read morebeautiful setting for our holiday. The property is tucked away in the hills, surrounded by breathtaking scenery that feels peaceful and untouched. Its secluded location made the beaches feel private--soft sand, clear blue water, and the constant sound of waves crashing. The soothing ocean sounds made nights especially relaxing, while the calm water during the day was perfect for splashing, swimming, and enjoying family time. The resort atmosphere was quiet and clean, making it easy to unwind. Drinks were always perfectly frozen, which was a nice treat in the warm island weather. There's a lounge available throughout the day, as well as a restaurant for dinner, and the lounge also serves casual food if you're in the mood for something lighter. The pizza from the lounge was especially good. Dining at the restaurant offered a nice variety of steak and seafood options. Breakfast was a highlight, with a full buffet available each morning along with made-to-order omelets. Be sure to look closely around the omelet station--there's a little hidden surprise where you can often find French toast or pancakes. We missed it the first couple of days but were glad once we discovered it. For those who enjoy a bit of adventure, a roughly 45-minute hike over the hill is well worth the effort. The trail leads to stunning tidal pools and opens up to a striking black stone beach. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and the stones rustling underfoot creates an unforgettable, almost magical experience. Overall, Carambola offered a serene, scenic escape that made our Christmas in the Caribbean truly special.

The dive site was beautiful and the dive guides were fantastic. The captain of the boat was fun and runs a tight ship.
